The Memorious Issue 001 Spring 2026 — Inaugural Issue featuring a pastoral landscape painting

A Magazine for the Written Word

The Memorious is a quarterly literary magazine founded by three writers who believe that the short story, the essay, and the poem remain the most vital forms of human expression. Each issue is a carefully assembled collection of voices that challenge, illuminate, and endure.

We publish fiction, creative nonfiction, flash fiction, and poetry from both emerging and established writers. Our first issue ships in print on April 17, 2026, and we intend to keep printing for a very long time.

We Are Reading

The Memorious is actively seeking submissions of fiction, creative nonfiction, flash fiction, and poetry for future issues. We are interested in writing that takes risks, that stays with the reader, that refuses to be forgotten.
